Within each of us is the desire to improve our knowledge base,
and the key to learning in this computer generated world is through
reading. The Common Ground Foundation is committed to combating
illiteracy among urban youth. Our focus is to encourage and to
inspire youth to think critically and to use the power of their
voice.
The Corner,
our national online book club, provides an interactive way for
students to learn about and discuss relevant reading materials.
Our team of professional consultants created a list of books that
convey messages of tolerance, compassion and non-violent expressions
of achieving social justice.
Each year the Foundation will sponsor a national "Common
Ground Challenge" for our book club members. Winners will
have an opportunity to meet Common and their essay will be posted
on The Common Ground Foundation website. The Foundation is also
committed to provide college scholarships as first prize awards.
Through exposure and participation in educational endeavors, The
Common Ground Foundation creates a positive atmosphere for learning
and understanding.
